I live around the corner from this restaurant. I have seen them grilling meat in the backyard area. I have also seen HUNDREDS of FLIES on the meat. They finish grilling, put the meat on a platter, and then take it inside the restaurant to sell it. Yes, sell it. If I can see the flies on the meat from across the yard so can the man grilling it. How disgusting to serve that to loyal patrons. They should be ashamed. The inside of the restaurant is consistently dirty. The outside of the restaurant is consistently dirty and when asked to clean up after their patrons , they dont. Cant believe the Health Department hasnt shut them down yet. Go anywhere else.

Ive been ordering To-Go orders from here for years. Their Steak Burritos are huge, affordable and theyre always consistent. Try the fresh red and green sauce too. They can get pretty busy during lunch hours so to avoid wandering around, call ahead 10min or so. :)

Most authentic Mexican food in the area! Ive been in the restaurant business for 17 years and have eaten at hundreds of family owned Mexican restaurants and this one stands out. Menu options are very authentic. From cabessa to tripe. Muy bien!!!

Didnt even sit down. Filthy and dilapidated. Chips and salsa are five dollars..every other place gives them to customers at no cost. I cant believe the health dept hasnt closed this place down. Zero stars. I will never eat there.

Very authentic and super great-tasting... They have a problem keeping the place clean which is why I cannot give them even 4 stars. If the place was remodeled it may be a 5-star establishment.

Tacos al pastor are fantastic! Also thoroughly enjoy their carne asada and chicken. Homemade, fresh salsas in a few flavors are tasty. Authentic, tasty Mexican and very friendly staff also.

Absolutely the best food ever, the service is amazing, everyone is in nice. The jalapeno burrito is the best burrito ive ever had. The horchata is also great. Keep up the great work.

Closest thing to good city mexican food you can get out here in the burbs, felt like I was in a Chicago restaurant again! Love it, portions and the taste of the food was awesome!

Food was not the best, was upset by the broken window and the flies that were landing on my food. Also there was no parking. Cant park next door will get towed.

Just received an order & they continuously mess up. Every single time. Very aggravating. Dont recommend if you want to receive the actual food you order.

Not much to look at but the food is as authentic as you can get. Slight language barrier. I go for the food not the atmosphere. 5star for taste!

Great food if you can get past the appearance of the place. Never had a problem with the food or service. If you want authentic, this is it.

So sad that I cant get the crack carrots anymore. Please make more and charge people for the amount they take. Love the steak burrito

Food is good. Rough interior...makes you feel like your back in Little Mexico in Chicago. Fire up the habenero sauce. Pork is great
